‘Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in Armageddon: Cast out the dark ones and their darkness, the evildoers and their evil words and works, cause, effect, record and memory, into the lake of sacred fire.’
FROM the USA FDA, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Wear costumes that say “flame resistant” on the label. If you make your costume, use flame-resistant fabrics such as polyester or nylon. Inspect commercially wrapped treats for signs of tampering, such as an unusual appearance or discoloration, tiny pinholes, or tears in wrappers. Throw away anything that looks suspicious.

Yes, be extra-careful this time of the year, one of the four Black Sabbaths when hegemonists, terrorists and Han chauvinists gloat and glorify evil. Two weeks ago, for instance, there was another confrontation in the Himalayas, which had been triggered by “unilateral attempts of Chinese side to alter the status quo,” India’s defense ministry said in a statement. [https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-china-trade-blame-break-down-border-talks-2021-10-11/] And last month, India and China avoided an open clash over views on the origins of the COVID-19 virus at the BRICS summit, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a strong intervention in favor of a “transparent investigation” into the origins of the pandemic.

More Halloween safety tips, this time from the National Safety Council of America: Opt for non-toxic Halloween makeup over masks, which can obscure vision; always test makeup in a small area first to see if any irritation develops. Children and adults are reminded to put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. Discourage new, inexperienced drivers from driving on Halloween.

Yes, be fully cautious this time of the year, as Cartorhynchus lenticarpus, the Yangtze Nessie, CCG 3901, and the half-dragon, half-unicorn Nian cavort. Rough play and gray zone aggression: In a statement posted on its official Twitter account, the Philippine DFA said it protested the “unlawful issuance of over 200 radio challenges, sounding of sirens, and blowing of horns by Chinese government vessels” against Filipino authorities “conducting legitimate, customary, and routine patrols over and around the Philippines’ territory and maritime zones.” [Philippine News Agency, October 21, 2021, https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1157309]
Our third Halloween safety tip: “We need to teach our children that ‘the fight isn’t against occultists, non-Christians, Christians who feel differently than we about Halloween, or institutions that promote Halloween, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’” (Ephesians 6:12, NKJV) [Colorado Christian News, October 1995, https://christiananswers.net/q-eden/halloween.html]
Yes, good hunting: First, you need to get the monster into a state where it’s vulnerable to capture. When your monster starts acting tired, place a trap and lure them into it. You can also bait the trap with some meat, but placing the trap in a combat area is much easier. [https://www.polygon.com/22334211/capture-monster-hunt-shock-pitfall-trap-tool]
Yes, monster hunt, tap the Witcher, eliminate the creature. Not Blinky the Three-Eyed Fish but Crocosaurus, CCG 3901, Iku-Turso, Lobstrosity, CCG 2901, Mokí¨lé-Mbí¨mbé, Type 039A/B (Yuan)-class, Rusalka, Vampyroteuthis infernalis, or Rhedosaurus (aka the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms). Donny’s sea monster turned out to be a submarine captained by a ghoul named Zao.[https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Here_There_Be_Monsters]
Halloween Safety Tips No. 4 from USA’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Stay alert for pedestrians who may come out from between parked cars or behind shrubbery, stop, wait for them to pass. Before the Halloween festivities begin, create a “buddy system” to get each other home safely and prevent walking alone. Remember that social host liability laws may hold you responsible for parties where underage people drink, regardless of who furnishes the alcohol, and you could be held legally responsible for your guests’ behavior after they leave your party.

Our fifth Halloween safety tips from the National Neighborhood Watch and the National Sheriffs’ Association: If you’re turning your home into a haunted house, keep safety in mind: make sure steps, sidewalks, porches and paths are well-lit and free of decorations and holiday props. Keep decorations away from fireplaces and candles.
1. When selecting a costume, opt for the bright-colored outfits and add a touch of reflective tape to the material. Stick some reflective tape on their trick-or-treat bags as well so they can be easily spotted by motorists. Lastly, don’t forget to make sure they’re equipped with a flashlight or glow stick — must-have accessories for any costume.
2. Park inside if you can on Halloween. Your garage is your best bet. If you do not have a garage you may want to consider investing in some outdoor lighting for your driveway and yard. [https://nnw.org/halloween-safety-tips]
Take precaution against pranks and vandalism: exorcise criminally-negligent deans and narcissistic chancellors, convict Dr. Evil, and reject the moronic candidates vying for legislative seats because all of these Deadites (Evil Dead) are druids of human sacrifice.
These Deados (monsters disguised as humans who threaten the mortal realm, thus, targeted by the Rest In Peace Department) are mal-forming Bonifacio’s Republika ng Haringbayang Katagalugan into an ochlocracy of panda-huggers.
Not just a Halloween safety tip, perform a Spirit Cleansing, chase them away: Ecce crucis signum, fugiant phantasmata cuncta. Some of these electoral candidates and bureaucrats are simply lost, confused, or still clinging to life, and will leave when asked.
